Hi,

So i tried again this morning by sending an array of 3 doubles on my real time side (with rt_pipe_stream). On user space, I get as expected 24 bytes which matches the size of 3 doubles. But I cannot get more datas and I still do not understand why. My real time function runs periodically every 1 ms and my userspace function runs in background or periodically (around 500ms). What do I do wrong so that when I use the read(2) function it only reads datas by group (as if there was message boundary).

Thanks in advance,

Mathieu

The user-space side seems to read double values as soon as they are
written to the pipe (i.e. try sending two doubles in a row at each
kernel-side write op), so this behaviour would be the expected one.

Sidenote: rt_pipe_stream will not keep message boundaries (e.g. writing
8 + 4 + 4 may cause the read side to get 12 + 4); rt_pipe_send/write
will keep the boundaries intact.
